Fat Controller - 'In Complete Darkness' - Tune of all Time!!
Old Skool Baby Yeah!!!
Welcome....
DJ Rapture: aka Mike, age 22.
Hardcore DJ and Co-Promoter of Wales No 1 Old Skool Night - DIRTY KNEES
Music wise I love to play the whole broad history of hardcore:
Old Skool
Happy Hardcore
Upfront
Freeform
Gabba
Hardcore Breaks.
But am also at home raving to anything from hardstyle to trance to dnb!!! Since moving to Cardiff I love the Welsh raving crew and the Welsh scene and you can catch me out and about most weeks this side of the bridge whereever the parties at!!
At the end of a heavy weekend you can catch me every Sunday night 10-12 on the mighty HISTORYOFHARDCORE radio show playing everything from the old time classics to the most upfront alternative hardcore for all you Sunday Seshioners out there who want to keep raving it up right into the early hours of Monday Morning!
If you're a Sunday Seshioner, or even if you just want to stomp around to banging tunes last thing on a Sunday night then log onto HistoryofHardcore get on the pager system and get amongst it with myself and whatever guest DJ's have lasted the weekend's festivities ;)
Between the weekends parties I have the pleasure of being a full time vinyl pusher in Wales No One Dance Music Specialists store Catapult
When I'm not pushing the tunes I co-run DIRTY KNEES and TOTAL KAOS: two
multi arena events with residencies in the centre of Cardiff.
Dirty Knees showcases Old Skool - Happy Hardcore - Old Skool Techno - Trancecore - Jungle - Breaks - Nu Rave - Drum n Bass.
Total Kaos: Hardcore - Gabba - Hard Tek - Schranz - Hard Trance - Hard House - Hardstyle.
Last event was Dirty Knees 25/04/08: Mickey Finn, Fearless, Clarkee, Squidgy B, Billy 'Daniel' Bunter - went off with a fuckin bang!
Always dashing round the country following the beats and bass so probably talked codshit to a lot of you out there before!
Peace Love and Respect!
